To all lfckom it may concern:

-,Be it known that. we, @SCAR Moreno and JOSEPH F. LA MB, citizens of the United States, and residents of New Britain, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecti cut, v have invented certain new and useful I invention.

I raisedboss b formin Improvements in Bath-Room Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to produce a device of the charalcter specified having features-of novelty and advantage in its construction, and the. particular object of ,the invention is to simplify and strengthen the construction, of devices of this kind.

Referring 'to the drawingsFigure 1 is a front elevation of adeviceembodying our Fig-2 is'a plan view of the same with parts shown in section. Fig. 3 is a, detail Vi6W in section side elevation. 'Re'ferring to the drawings n denotes a base by which the fixture is attached to a suitable supporting surface having a central of the base. As'tu I head into which the various bracket arms 10, 10,. and 15 are fitted hasa' flange 7" which restshgainst the front of the base and a stem which passes through the; base, and is pre erably riveted over to securely attach the stud to the base; The washer d which is of about the same diameter as the flange f, as recessed to receive the r veted end of the stem so that it may have a bearing against the base opposite to the flange, and

.- end-of the stem the screw 6 whose head takes a bearing on the'washer d is threaded into the stem to clamp the base between the flange and the washer. The screw also extends through the stem and through one wall of the lateral bracket arms 10,10, thus pres venting them from twisting, and into the end of the depending bracket arm 1.5, ihechanically securing all of't e parts of the complete device firmly and securely together. It will be observed that owing to this construction the riveting over of the; 79 might be dispensed with.

.The 'lateral arms 10, 10 are preferably formed from 'a single'piece-bf tubular stock of even diameter throughout, bent to shape,

and passed through an aperture in the Y stud f.

In the underside of the stud a socket is I Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June 7, 1912. Serial No. 702,374.

bracket arm 15. This socket tapers from the full diameter to a diameter slightly less than the inside diameter of the stock from which the bracket arms 10, 10 are made, thelateral arms 10, 10 being apertured to form a continuation'of this socket. The end of the bracket arm 15 is tapered and sized to fit snugly within this socket, filling the hole cut through the lateral bracket arms 10, 10, and is preferably brazed-in position to securely unite the parts. As above described, the screws 6 extending axially through the stud from the rear of the base passes through the Wall ofthe lateral bracket arms 10, 10 and is threaded into the end of the bracket; arm 15 tomeclmnic'alIy secure all the parts in place. It will thus be seen that by reducing the end ofthe depending bracket arm 15, it is not necessary'to sever the lateral arms 10, 10, thus preserving to a considerable extent the strength and rigidity of these lateral arms; also that by secan be'forced snugly into its seat and rigidly positioned. The mechanical attachment of the lateral and depending bracket arms to the stud by the screw increases the security andrigidity of the complete structure, and While We prefer to braze these bracket arms into their sockets, this may be omitted if desired. The base is also greatly strengthened by being clampedby the lscrew between the washer and the flange or shoulder on the stud.

As a result of this construction we have been able to produce a device of the characterdescribed characterized by unusual strength and rigidity of construction.

' W'eclaim as our invention:- 1.1151 a device of the character described, a ba'se, a bracket vrm carried thereby and a base, a stud secured thereto, a bracket arm stud and bracket arm, a second bracket arm having a reduced end adapted to fit 'within .said socket, and means, for securing said bracket arms in position in said stud.

a base, a stud mounted thereon having a lateral aperture, a member assing through said aperture and fitting c osely within it and having its ends oppositely extended to form lateral bracket arms, a socket in said form lateral bracket .arms, a. socket in said stud whose axis intercepts the axis of said member, and whose diameter in that, partwlnch extends through said lateral bracket arm is less than the diameter thereofia second bracket arm having a reduced end adapted to fit within said socket, and a screw extending through said stud and into both of the bracket arms.

5. A device of the character described comprising a base,-a studse'cured'to and projecting from the front thereof and having a transverse-aperture, a socket opening I into it, the walls of the socket being slightly tapered, a lateral bracket arm extending through the'aperture and itself apertured in alinement with the socket, and'a bracket arm having its I said socket and extend through the aperture in .the lateral bracket arm, and lneane for securing said bracket arms in position.

6. A device of the character described end sized and shaped to fit-into comprising a base, a stud secured teiand plojectingfrom a transverse aperture, a socket opening into it, the walls of the socket being slightly tapered, ,a lateral bracket arm extending through the aperture and itself apertured the front thereof and: having 'inalinement with the socket, and fihracket arm having its end sized and shapedto fit; into said socket, and extend through the aperture in the lateral bracket arm, and a screw passing through said through a wall of the bracket arm into the end of the depending bracket arm.

7. In a device of the character a base, a stud provided with a stem passing" through the base and a flange bearing against the front thereof, a washer fitting against H the rear of the base opposite the flange, bracket arms fitting into sockets in the head of the stud, and a screw passing through said washer and base having threaded engagement with the stem and extending through said stem into threaded engagement with the bracket arms.
